You sure they dont show the percentage? Every bottle I looked at did. As far as I remember, its only the HCF bleach that doesnt show it.

I so feel your pain as I have the same canopy (in Cedar Park), but SLAM'n cleared it right up. And, I kept the FC way up in advance of this weekends downpour.

As was mentioned, the 10% Pool Essentials from WM or Lowes, or the HDX stuff from HD. Just be sure to check the dates and dont buy anything more than a few months ago.

At $2.59/bottle, your math is a bit off :oops: Even with tax included, its closer to 36 bottles.

They dont care. HEB is not what they were 10-20 years ago. Profits are obviously now their top concern - not you going home a hero!

Yeah, they certainly did! And the operation manager from the Lakeline store tried to deny it and even suggested I purchased the wrong one. Whatever....

Thanks, but unfortunately Ive already checked with all the pool supply companies in my area (they all only sell the 4x gallons at crazy prices) and I only found one chemical supply company - and they dont offer sodium hypochlorite ? Looks like it's Walmart or Lowes for me...

Yeah, Im sure its the same stuff as is sold in Randalls, Walgreens, and everywhere else. But, their name is on it so I hold them accountable. Most of the HEB brand stuff is VERY good and they need to be responsible about maintaning their brand. </ $0.02>

Yeah, its not our regular store - just one I passed on the way home. I'm kind of used to CS people assuming that I, the customer, am always wrong these days.

Our friends at HEB - First, they claimed that (after 10 years) I "purchased the wrong bleach" (customer always right?) because the "regular bleach is 6% and the concentrated is 8.25%" So, I send them pictures of a bottle from yesterday and a bottle from two weeks ago - both say "concentrated"...

POOP! I just checked the bottles I bought today and they are now only 6%! That's their solution to selling too much. WTH? I need to call them tomorrow. Guess its back to the 10% stuff at WM now @ $3.64 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pool-Essentials-Chlorinating-Liquid/48938023 New and old...

Wow. Yeah. We had a lot before the storm as well, but then.... Monday the water looked like thick coffee. Ive never seen it this bad, though. Based on your photo, it was at least 4x worse here. I probably got two wheelbarrows worth just from my normal-sized driveway. My yard is almost solid...

That is more often than not the case for me as well at my primary store. You'd think after being constantly out of stock that they'd stock more...but nope. Unfortunately, bleach doesnt have a very long shelf life or I'd just stock up. Fortunately, I do have three HEBs close by :) The 8.25%...

Oh yeah, that sucks about the Hep A in your area. Safety/health is priority # 1 for me. That is the main reason I was so anal about keeping the FC @ 4 - for the kids to swim. Green water is just about aesthetics. Blue water can be contaminated and green water can be safe. I try to stay away from...
